The forests in which we live are abundant with glorious foods and herbs that give us all the nutrients we need, and today, I have a health tip for you regarding herbs. Did you know that oregano contains antibacterial properties that help prevent bacterial growth and infections? It also consists of compounds like carvacrol and thymol that are linked with antiviral properties. It has been shown that oregano is effective in decreasing the risks of developing various chronic diseases due to its anti-inflammatory properties. It contains a large amount of antioxidants which assist in fighting cell damage from free radicals in your body and is composed of health promoting nutrients such as polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory properties. Oregano is used in many olive oil-based dishes and tomato-based recipes such as vegan pizza and pasta sauce. Oregano leaves can be used to garnish your dishes, especially ones with hearty vegetables like eggplant, zucchini, and cauliflower. Improve your health simply by eating more anti-inflammatory foods! How easy is that?
Looks like the joke of the day has already taken shape, so we’d better get right to it. This one’s called, “Teacher Likes Me.”
A boy comes home from school with news to tell his mom:
“Mom, the teacher really likes me very much!”
“Really?”
“That's right! The other students in my class will graduate soon and leave, but the teacher insists on keeping me another year to continue studying with her!”
?!
And now we have a heartline from Nela in Prague, Czech Republic:
Dear brothers and sisters! May my little confession perhaps encourage some of you. I have been interested in spiritual matters since I was young, but it was not easy for a European woman growing up in an atheistic environment, because society was not in favor of it. I have been waiting for my Master for about 25 years. When Master “called” me, I was immediately clear inside, but my mind made it difficult. Nevertheless, over time, I developed a beautiful daily prayer, part of which goes like this: My Beloved Master, I surrender everything to You, Thy will be done, all is as it should be. I surrender to You my thoughts, speech and actions, my whole life, and I thank You for accepting it from me. May I be Your good instrument! Master, I know that You are omnipresent, I know that You are God Almighty, I know You are the Love of God, I know You are the Ocean of Love, Wisdom and Purity. May I always be aware of this, may I always be attuned to Love, sublime Wisdom and Purity, attuned to You! And as I gradually become more attuned (surrendered) – my atheistic armor thins and I experience: - Unexpected surges of Love and Purity throughout the day - Frequent Humming of the Waters - Lightness of my body - In meditation, I have come to know myself as a consciousness that moves at the speed of thought - I found myself in a space that words cannot describe and felt the omnipresence of Master - I feel truly protected no matter what happens! Master, thank You for everything You do for me, for allowing me to meditate, for keeping me healthy, and for all the knowledge I have been given and understood. May there be a vegan world – a world of lasting peace as soon as possible and forever! Nela from the heart of Europe, Prague, Czech Republic
High-minded Nela, Thank you for sharing your powerful prayer and your experience of transformation from atheist to spiritual practitioner. It is remarkable that you have come to a place of such surrender. Your prayer captures the ideal mindset of a true disciple and we thank you for reminding us how to be of service to our Beloved Master. May you and the genuine Czech people be forever held in God’s loving Embrace, Supreme Master TV team
P.S. Master has these special words for you: “Faithful Nela, it is very beneficial to your spiritual practice to pray daily. You have established yourself with the right thinking and attitude towards Master Power and remember your true motivation for practicing spiritually. I am sure this has helped you greatly and I am happy to have a disciple like you who understands and appreciates the opportunity that initiation provides any sincere seeker. Continue to make the most of your time, my love, and practice diligently. Pray daily for all beings to awaken as you have. May you and the noble Czech people be blessed by Heaven’s Grace. Love you so!”
